Shiv Sena Vs Shiv Sena- Maharashtra Politics- Supreme Court Hearing- Live Updates

Sibal: He cannot say that he is the member of the party and he has the right to decide what happens in the house... 

CJI : I have not passed an order for referring to larger bench, I am thinking aloud.

Singhvi : It will save time.

CJI : I am not immediately constituting the bench. Please give the preliminary issues.

SG : What did you do? You fought Mr C for twenty years and you form an alliance with them, and one group feels they can't face the electorate.

Sibal : How can the Governor argue this?

SG : That is why I said I am arguing as a counsel.

SG : They take a pre-poll alliance that they will go for a particular ideology and people vote for that. Now a smaller partner...

CJI : We understand what you are saying.

SG : I am greatly impressed by Dr.Singhvi's submission that it is a constitutional sin to defect. In Rajender Singh Rana case, court examined 10th schedule. It was held that when a candidate gets elected, he gets elected for a party or an ideology.

CJI : Mr.Salve, I think instead of later referring, we can have larger bench.

CJI : Some of the issues, I strongly feel, may require a larger bench.

Sibal seeks posting for next Tuesday. Salve requests till next Friday(29) or August 1.

CJI : You prepare your compilation. Mr.Salve, whatever you want to file, you file.
